Inspection Report Summary for The Residence at Westport
The most recent inspection on June 20, 2024, identified deficiencies related to failure to follow the Missing Resident Response policy and supervision of assisted living services. Earlier inspections showed mostly clean results, with one substantiated complaint investigation in late 2021 involving a failure to update a client’s service plan after a change in condition. The main issues across reports involved client safety protocols and timely updating of service plans. Complaint investigations were generally unsubstantiated except for the 2021 case related to client care documentation. The recent findings suggest some ongoing challenges with policy adherence, following a period of compliance in prior years.
